If you need to pinpoint just how frantic today's securities arbitration atmosphere has become, just ask David Robbins if he has plans to mow his lawn. "My work is counter-cyclical to the market. If it's up, I cut the grass. But now, thanks to a lot of unregulated greed and toxic products in the marketplace, it doesn't look like I'll be doing any yard work soon."

The dramatic rise in case filings, in fact, has led David to update his Securities Arbitration Procedure Manual. Among the new and updated subjects included in his revised edition are: U.S. Supreme Court and Manifest Disregard for Law, The Elderly and Securities Arbitration, The Best Approach to Take With Arbitrators and How to Speak to Them, Civility - A Supreme Court Justice's Recommendations, and A Primer on the Procedure of Motions to Vacate Awards.
